I tihnk it was suggested as part of Quantum mechanics, where a particle was observed to be in more than once place at one, and if a particle is in more than once place, then all matter can be, including the things that are made of matter.

So the metaphysical implications are that all potentialities exist within this field. Which means any event that could did and will happen is existing in the timelines already simultaneously.
In this timeline our ability to travel to different timelines is limited in a more linear way so far. This looks like it's changing and I'll explain below what I mean. In another timeline we have the means to go back and change outcomes of events. The most difficult thing to understand about this is each time you experience in a linear fashion any timeline. You are always traveling along infinite time lines in a finite moment. It's not like we arn't constantly changing timelines. Just how we are traveling along them. Which gives the illusion of something linear.
In the stargate series they went through the stargate and instead of going where they were meant to go they arrived at a timeline in which the stargate was not invented. They had a hard time convincing their superiors that such technology existed and that they needed to use it to 'get back to the other timeline'.
What they didn't understand is the timelines they were traveling on or seemingly changing to one timeline to another, is just another big timeline itself that has unified itself in the parallel universes in their experience.
So what was interesting is the guy in charge of the project told them 'if you were in this timeline you wouldn't want to change things', and that 'what you are asking us to do would change the lives of thousands and it's totally arrogant'. Their appearance was part of that timeline. It had merged with the other timeline.
So they were then stuck in that timeline because they had used technology to get to it accidently but then they were not allowed to leave. Which had pretty much the same people and situations with minor differences. Even though this is meant to be a fictional series. I can feel the reason they made that film was to leak something they knew. That kind of thing goes on at the upper levels of the system.
It is very mindboggling to understand that timelines are real. They are practically the same thing as parallel universes and you could call them that as well.
